Chapter 19

"Brother Yi, have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, Uncle Tang is going on a long trip today. Why did he bring so many things?"

"Didn't my sister Mu marry and go to Baima Town last year? Well, a few days ago, a messenger came with good news, saying that a baby was born, and asked me to go have a full moon wine. "

"Congratulations to Uncle Tang on the birth of his fat grandson."

After a while, there were neighbors. Passing by Xu's yard, I saw Xu Yi working in the yard, tinkering with the medicinal materials, and stopped to say hello.

The conversations were all short, but because there were so many people saying hello, Xu Yi's mouth was parched as he talked, so he ran into the house to drink a pot of cold water, and then went out to the yard again to process the medicinal materials.

Just as Xu Yi put the medicinal materials on the stove to steam, someone from the Chen family next door came out of the house.

It was Mrs. Chen, who was pouring out the dregs of medicine overnight in the yard. When she raised her head, she bumped into Xu Yi in the opposite yard.

The blood on her face was not good, and her eyes were dark and blue, and she looked like she had not slept well.

"Ms. Chen." Xu Yi called politely.

Mrs. Chen nodded, and instead of chatting politely like before, she returned to the house a little coldly.

Not long after, the courtyards of the Xu family and the Chen family were filled with a strong smell of medicine.

...

The amount of digestion pills made this time was large, and the stove in the kitchen burned for more than two hours before it stopped.

Xu Yi was so busy that he didn't even eat lunch. When he came back to his senses, his stomach growled, and even Xiao Huang felt unhappy. It looked like he was very hungry.

He asked the idle man to buy some braised meat, such as pork belly and pig ears, and pick some of each.

Not long after, Xianhan came back with the braised pork that was still hot.

While paying the other party the errand fee, Xu Yi asked him: "Is the market outside busy today?" The idle man said

: "It's lively. There are morning and evening markets tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there are more people setting up stalls."

After that, he said again: "If Xu Xiaolang wants to buy anything, you can come to me. I can run errands quickly."

Xu Yi saw that he was honest and the braised pork he bought was in a good location, so he asked him to run errands and buy some more. Honey is back.

The price of honey was high, so Xu Yi gave him five cents of silver. He didn't buy much, but he put it in a clay pot. When he opened it, he could smell the sweet fragrance of honey.

After coming here, Xu Yi rarely eats sweets. He didn't like sweets before, but suddenly he became interested in sweets.

Eating some sugar is good for your health. Xu Yi took out a spoonful and dissolved it with warm water, turning it into a bowl of honey water.

Gulu gulu, after a few mouthfuls, there is a lingering sweet taste in your mouth.

Next, Xu Yi continued to rub his Xiaoshi Pills.

On the other side, Xing Yuesen went to Xing's father's study to do business.

This is not his first purchase. There are more than thirty people in four rooms in his house, and he has a lot to buy.

In addition to medicinal materials, there are also hundreds of items, including cloth, ice, diesel fuel, salt, etc., large and small. Naturally, it is impossible for Xing Yuesen to do them all by himself.

He is mainly responsible for the herbs and ice with his own hands.

Medicinal materials are related to the health of family members, while ice cubes are expensive and scarce. You need to order them three months in advance every year. Otherwise, you won’t be able to buy them until summer arrives. If only one servant is sent, there is a high possibility that the other party will neglect him. It is better for him to go there in person, which will save trouble and time.

After listening to his report, Xing's father was very satisfied: "Yes, Brother Sen doesn't need my advice now. In the future, you need to be humble and humble, and don't be arrogant."

Xing Yuesen lowered his eyes slightly: "Father, I understand."

" "Yeah." Father Xing nodded and asked him if there was anything else.

Xing Yuesen: "Tomorrow I will go to the market with Xu Yi. After noon, Xu Yi will come home to diagnose my grandfather's pulse."

Xing's father was stunned, frowning and asked: "Who is Xu Yi?"

Xing Yuesen said dumbly: "... "

He sighed and said, "It's a friend I met on the road a while ago. The decoction my grandfather is drinking now is the medicine prescribed by him."

Father Xing suddenly realized: "It's him. Since we have made an appointment, we can't neglect it. "As he said this, he was also curious about the person who attracted his son's attention. "After diagnosing your grandfather's pulse, bring him over to have a cup of tea with me."

Xu Yi knew nothing about this.

Early the next morning, after he finished practicing boxing, there was a bang on the door outside. Xu Yi put down his sleeves and went out to open the door. He saw Xing Yuesen, dressed like a green peacock, standing outside the door.

Behind him, there was a chariot with a donkey hitched to it.

"Brother Xing, you're here so early." Xu Yi was surprised.

Xing Yuesen said: "It's getting late. It takes more than half an hour to get to the City God's Temple from South Street. It's too late and there's no parking space."

"Is this your car?" Xu Yi looked back with an appraising look.

He had seen many chariots and carts pulled by donkeys on the streets, but he had never ridden in one himself. He didn't know what it would be like to ride in a donkey cart.

Both donkeys were tied with ropes and were held by the driver. The driver was wearing cotton shorts and was about thirty years old. He looked simple and dull.

But he is very discerning. He moved out the wooden bench for boarding the car early and waited beside him holding the rope.

"Sit up quickly, we'll leave early and come back early." Xing Yuesen shouted.

Xu Yi asked him to wait for a while, and he went back to the house to change into clothes that were convenient for going out. After all, it was not appropriate to go out to the market in a short shirt.

He doesn't have as conspicuous clothes as Xing Yuesen, and his gown is either gray or green bamboo. He chose a green bamboo one and put it on, then put on a green square scarf.

Then, he came out carrying a baggage.

Xing Yuesen raised his eyebrows: "What is this?"

"Xiaoshi pills and stall items." Xu Yi said.

Xing Yuesen: "?" He became even more confused.

Could it be that Xu Yi went to set up a stall instead of visiting the Chenghuang Temple Market?

Xing Yuesen suddenly became interested. The land of rich clothes and fine food has grown so big. He has never made money by doing business. Maybe by following Xu Yi today, he can experience different joys of life.

The two of them got into the carport one after another. The shed was not too narrow and could accommodate two or three people inside. It was covered with soft coverings and would not cause any discomfort when sitting on it.

When the car started, it was not shaking, and Xu Yi could lift the curtain to look outside.

However, he didn't have many opportunities to look outside. As soon as Xing Yuesen sat down, he pulled him to chat. The two of them had similar sexual interests, and they chatted all the way. Time passed very quickly, and it felt like they arrived at the City God's Temple not long after.

They got off the car more than two hundred meters away from the Chenghuang Temple, and the driver pulled the car to park.

The two of them went directly to the market. There were already many people setting up stalls in the market. The closer they got to the Imperial City Temple, the more people there were, and all the empty seats were in the side seats.

Xu Yi found a random place, opened the bundle, and took out the contents - a folding wooden stool, a piece of linen with the words "Xiaoshi Wan" written on it, and thirty packs of Xiaoshi Wan.

Seeing how well prepared he was, Xing Yuesen clicked his tongue twice with admiration in his eyes.

"Brother Yi is so many years younger than me, and his mind is much higher than mine." He didn't expect so much.

Xu Yi's mouth twitched. In modern times, he was two years older than Xing Yuesen.

"I'm going to stay here for a while. Brother Xing can go shopping elsewhere first."

Xing Yuesen shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I'm here to see how you sell Xiaoshi Pills."

There were people in short shirts and shorts all around . The man running the stall is brown, but Xing Yuesen is dressed like a male peacock with his wings spread, standing here out of place.

Many people are secretly looking at the official of which family this is. He is handsome, personable and very eye-catching.

At this time, Xu Yi, who was also eye-catching, was much more low-key and did not attract many people's attention.

But also because of Xing Yuesen, some people paid attention to Xu Yi's stall.

Soon, a handsomely dressed young man stopped in front of the stall. He looked at Xing Yuesen next to him and then at Xu Yi, with confusion and shock on his face.

When Xing Yuesen saw him, he rarely had a good expression.

It looks like he is someone he knows.

Sure enough, the young master said, "Has Fifth Young Master Xing's family been reduced to the point where he needs to set up a stall in the market?"

That tone and eyes were obviously full of yin and yang.

Xing Yuesen's face was slightly cold: "This seems to have nothing to do with Young Master Xin."

"Oh, we are classmates after all, and we take care of each other. This is what the teacher often mentions." The smile of Xin did not reach his eyes. After teasing Xing Yuesen, he looked at Xu Yi.

He couldn't see any sense of familiarity on Xu Yi's face, so he thought it was someone he didn't recognize. What he was wearing... There was a sneer in his eyes. Even poor people nowadays like to dress like scholars.

"What are these Xiaoshi pills you are selling? Why haven't I heard of them?" He asked again, "What relationship does Xing Yuesen have with you that allows him to accompany you here to set up a stall?"

Xu Yi: "There are many things in the world. If you haven't heard of them, it shows that you have little knowledge. Asking about other people's relationships for the first time is a taboo in making friends."

Xin Shengyuan said angrily: "I didn't say I wanted to make friends with you."

Xu Yi: "Oh, then why are you asking me?"

Xin Shengyuan: "..."

I'm so angry that I can't find anything to say back!

Xing Yuesen laughed: "Brother Yi, that's right. You can't be used to this kind of person."

Xu Yi nodded and asked the man named Xin: "Do you want to buy pills? They can be taken to treat food accumulation, regulate qi, and regulate the stomach."

Xin Sheng Yuan looked at the pills and shook his head in disgust: "I don't buy anything from the market that has no provenance. Who knows if your pills are useful? If you don't buy them, don't buy them."

Xu Yi blinked and ignored him.

As a result, this person refused to leave, as if he wanted to have sex with them. At first glance, that posture showed that he was usually arrogant and dignified, and had never suffered any grievances.

If Xu Yi and Xing Yuesen couldn't get any favors from them, they acted like children.

Xing Yuesen knew that although Xin Shengyuan was a bad-mouthed man who deserved a beating, he was not a prankster. Seeing that he refused to leave, he had no intention of taking care of him and continued chatting with Xu Yi.

As for Xin Shengyuan, he was too lazy to listen to what they were talking about, but as he listened, he became fascinated.

From standing proudly with a face full of resistance, he turned to leaning sideways attentively, with his ears raised high.

Hearing the interesting part, he suddenly said: "What next?"
